30 Day Shoulder Mount: Day 17
Duration: 00:39:49
Today you’ll warm-up with the Shoulder mount strength routine before moving on to the Middle splits training.
Pro tip: As I mentioned, not only does improving flexibility maintain balance in the body, it also allows for more freedom of movement. For example: If you’re hamstrings are very tight you’ll struggle with straight legs and holding a Shoulder mount in a straddle.
My knees hurt too much if I try to face them forward…..maybe my body just isn’t built to be able to do that.
Face then forward when?
Sorry, I should’ve been more specific – starting at 06:53, where you say to face the knees forward. As soon as I hear “face the knees forward”, panic sets in 😉
You mean in the stretching routine? The adductor stretch? If so remember you don’t need to go far.
Yes. I don’t feel a stretch in this position. The only thing I feel is pain in my knees 🙁
Then you need to turn them up, if it’s so painful that you can’t even do the start position then I would talk with a physical therapist.
Thank you so much Veena – I will do that.
I like adding the flexibility/splits routine into the program! This day is awesome
Dun ! ( well most of it – lol )
Whoot!
